[quote=Anonymous][quote][quote]It all depends on whether Trump threatens to lose Dukakis-style, with AZ, MT, NC, GA going blue, and TX a battleground.

If so, the rats will leave as they don't want to risk losing the Senate.

If it stays close ... there will be individuals who are seeking to help themselves (e.g. Kirk in IL, who's facing a re-election this fall) but the party apparatus will largely stay behind Trump, if only in a pro forma sense the way Reagan endorsed Ford in 1976 and then did absolutely nothing.

True enough. Note the sound of crickets as Clinton ripped into him the other day. The party was painfully silent when it came to jumping to his defense. They will let him hang out there in the breeze. For Trump, it's all coming home to roost. [/quote]

Yes, I don't understand why more Republicans are not taking this course.  Silent treatment.  Avoid questions about who you are endorsing.  Skip the convention.  Let him twist in the wind.  Of course Ryan can't avoid the questions 100x a day, but many can.  As a partisan Dem, I can understand not wanting to "support the other side."  So just keep your mouth shut and run your own race.  (Though on the other hand, as a partisan Dem, ideally I suppose Rs don't take my advice, and instead either (1) tie themselves to Trump or (2) scream and complain and implode the party.   :) [/quote]
